Jacob Simon's Murder.

Ten negroes were arrested and jailed
here last Friday by Sheriff 7. L. Brons-
sard and his deputies. They were arres-
ted on suspicion. preliminary exami-
nation was commenced before Judge
MOutOn the same evening of their arrest
and continued until Thursday eve ming.
Thomas Lewis, negro of notorious cha
racter, having been also arrested on sus-
picion denounced four of the accused as
the actors of the crime among whom
was his son, who he said had Informed
him of the crime. Six of the accused
were discharged by the court during
the preliminary trial, there being no
evidence duplicating them.
Thoga Adams and Thomas Lewis were
remanded to Jail without the benefit of
bail, and Jean Louis Adam and Cesaire
Lewis were admitted to bail in the sum
Of five hundred dollars, but in default of
bondsmen were also remanded to Jail.
Strong evidence points to the guilt of
ThOgas Adam and Thomas Lewis, and
they are without the least doubt, the
murderers of Jacob Simon. 1t is perhaps
better for the guilty parties to remain in
Jail, as we have heard threats openly
made by indignant citizens against the
life of the murderers.

The Beginning of the End.

The beginning Of disease is a slight
debility or disorder of some of the vital
organs, the stomach, the liver or the bow
els usually. There are dyspeptic symp-
toms, the liver is trublesome, the skin
grows tawney and unhealthy looking,
there are pains in the right side or
through the right shoulder blade, The
climax is often an utter prostration of
the physical energies, perhaps fatal is
sue. But if the difficulty is met in time
with HOstetter Stomach Bitters, which is
always effective as a remedy, and it
should be resorted to at an early stage
there will be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often entailed by entirely Gu
red diseases. Far better is it, also to
employ this safe remedial agent in fever
and ague, and malarial complaints, than
quinine and other potent drugs, which
even when they do prove effectual for q
time, ruin the stomach and impair the
general health.

A great big boom wave, the genuine
article is coming in the direction of st.
Martinsville, and in very short time
everything will be booming. Our crops

route, with st. Martiusville as the termi-
usfOr the boats and railroad-indeed
our future is bright.

Through the Wall.

The editor of this paper has gloriOusly
gone through the heavy paper wall to
which our friend of the Reveille had
pushed him, and is now in the open
space enjoying and breathing on the
perfumed banks of the renowned Teche,
the liberties and prosperity that fill the
air of our great State since "Ring Rule"
was swept away by the great cyclone of
the Nichols boom land not in lucubra-
ton as hinted by our friend of the Re-
veille.
The Reveille says we have never ex-
pressed any preference for Gen. Nichols,
but have expressed what he terms, insi-
nuer des penchants, and calls for repub-
lication of our editorial of March 5th.-
we very willingly comply with the wishes
of our contemporary.
editorial March 5th.)
A large number of our exchanges are
pulling away and praising Gen. F. T..
Nichols, as the most available candidate
for Governor in 1888. We have not the
least doubt that Gen. Nichols is the
most available man, and has remarka-
BILE standing record; but time has de-
mOnstrated that the record of man has
not the least show before convention,
and il seems to us that it would be far
better and wiser for the newspapers to
puff little less and 60 to work and Or
ganize clubs in every parish, in order to
elect delegates who would support the
candidacy of Gen. Nichols before the
nominating convention, and not depend
on the good record of the gentleman, and
expect him to carry a convention compO-
sed of supporters and favorites of Cover
nor McEnery.
The influence of fhe ring is too strong
to expect delegation in favor of Gen.
Nichols, unless his supporters would
take the field and elect their own dele
gates, and it would perhaps be wise to
pledge these delegates, as the will of
the peoples not consulted before con-
ventiOns.
The above speaks for itself-no one
with a fair and unprejudiced mind will
interpret this article in other than a di-
rect expression in favor of Gen. Nichols.
To it, we offer no comment we leave that
for the Reveille-we submit the matter
to our readers and will abide by their
decision. In the meantime we would
suggest to the Reve lille to take down his
partition, admit that he was wrong, and
Join in hurrah for Gen. F. T. Nichols,
the choice of the people.

why Tom Ballard was Pardoned,

Uniform Progress.

From the Epoch.
it may interest the curious in such
matters to note how closely the in
crease in the assessed valuation Of
New York real estate follows the in
crease IN population. In 1870 there
were Ss42, 100000 81 taxable real
estate to o42, 900 persons, or barely
S78S per head. In 1880 there were
$942, ,0oo,0o0 Of taxable real estate
TO l l5203,0 900 persons, or about 3fol
per head, while at present there Is
81, 10000, 600 OF taxable real estate
to an estimated population Of Loo,
600. showing also proportion of
= = 81 per head. keeping IN view tne
speculative an9snHated scale ofyalu-
alton applied to much New York city
property in 1870, and the subsequent
return to the coin basis Of currency,
the reduced proportion between popu-
lation and valuation in recent years
ss not surprising. Taking everything
into account, thesubstantiai uniform
ity Of the proportion between the
two elements of lie visible greatness
Of the city is very instructive.

Then Miss Gwendolen bade him good.

There was something in this more

Whatwas there to forgive and forget?
Something which Mr.. Barnes had done

He quickly rallied, and l was soon
able to return home again; but had
not fathomed the mystery. In three
